A very nice thing about moons is that if you colonize one in a system, the planet doesn't show up as colonized. Basically, you can see what is in the system without anyone knowing you are there. Well, they won't know you are there unless they click on planet. I had a heckuva time wiping out an enemy because he had colonized a moon. It took forever to finally find him.

I use moon exlusively for Intel bases. I colonize a moon, and then stick an Atomsphere Converter on it.

Once its converted, I take out the AC, and build nothing but intel related operations.

Or, I destroy the moon, and rebuild it. In many cases, it rebuilds with an atomsphere.
